The name of Mayawati's Twitter handle is @sushrimmayawati.

On Jan 22, a tweet was posted for the first time on the handle which read: "Hello brothers and sisters. With due respect let me introduce myself to the Twitter family. This is my opening and inauguration. @sushrimayawati is my official Twitter handle for all my future interactions, comments and updates. With warm regards. Thank you. "
